Amazing little gite in the country

We had an amazing time staying at this gite. It was well stocked and furnished and the hosts provided lots of recommendations in English and French. Nearby to some very cool villages like Cordes, Najac, Gaillac, Albi, Sant Cirq Lapopie and many more. Includes a beautiful garden to relax on your day off. Our only complaint is that the internet was unreliable (a mobile hotspot). It always seemed to cut out whenever we tried to do research or work.

Good French rural retreat.

Have never been to this area before so a first for us. The gite is spacious, well appointed and superb conversion. Plenty of room, comfortable bed and excellent large shower. The kitchen was well equipped with modern appliances. Parking was adjacent to the gite and the terrace outside the kitchen door was spacious enough to accommodate a table and 4 chairs and got the sun all day. Two addition sun loungers for use on a grassed area with drying line and also plenty of shade if needed. Only criticisms were that lighting could have been better in both the kitchen area, and the area over the bedroom sink. It would have been good to have some English written instructions in respect of the oven,hob and washing machine. And a little more about the area/wildlife/places to visit in the booklet provided. We have usually picked up ideas in the past from Visitors books and their comments but there was none provided. Overall a great stay and comfortable stay.

A wonderfully peaceful place to stay, perfectly located to explore the Aveyron.

Staying at Lisou & Rick's gite was a pure delight. The gite is of the highest quality and lacked for nothing. It is south facing across their gorgeous garden and the terrace was a lovely place to have an evening meal, in perfect tranquillity. Lisou and Rick were the perfect hosts and happy to suggest places to walk or visit. You can walk from the gite down the valley to the Viaur river, or drive to the riverside. The river is probably the loveliest I've visited in France and there are many places to swim and walk. The rugged river valleys (Viaur & Aveyron) are more accessible than some in France and less isolated. Combined with rolling hills and many small farms, the wider area was delightful. There are many old villages and towns, castles and abbey's to explore and none felt too touristic. In conclusion, the Aveyron felt like a secret gem and Lisou & Rick's is the ideal place to explore the best of rural France. I will be back!

Beautiful, quiet gite near to great walks

We loved our stay at Lisou and Rick's gite. Such a beautiful setting and they were perfect hosts - they had thought of everything in the gite, including maps for good walks you can do from the gite and around Najac. We hope to return one day soon!

Super location

Nous avons passé d’agréables vacances malgré la température extérieure nous étions bien dans la maison avec la clim. La cour nous a permis de profiter le soir et le matin de la nature et du jardin, sa beauté et sa tranquillité. Merci à Lisou et Rick pour leur accueil. Un lieu cocooning que l’on recommande fortement.

Un havre de paix aux confins de l’Aveyron

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à Ginestous, destination idéale pour qui recherche le calme et l’authenticité. L’accueil de nos hôtes, Lisou et Rick, toujours disponibles et à l’écoute, a été particulièrement apprécié. Merci encore à eux pour leurs charmantes attentions. Ils ont fait de cet endroit un petit paradis. Le gîte est un petit cocon, décoré avec goût, où il fait bon vivre. Par beau temps, la terrasse qui donne sur le magnifique jardin fleuri de la propriété est un enchantement. Nous recommandons sans hésiter. Muriel et Marc

Un très agéable séjour à Ginestous

Le gite proposé par Lisou et Rick, totalement conforme à la description figurant sur le site, nous a permis de passer un excellent séjour dans cette partie de l'Aveyron. La climatisation a été particulièrement appréciée sous une forte chaleur ! Nous retiendrons aussi les judicieux conseils de sorties : fêtes de village, concerts, bonnes adresses culinaires, circuits de randonnées...(il y'en a tant !) proposés par Lisou. Un grand merci à tous les deux pour votre extrême gentillesse et vos délicates attentions. Delphine et Frédérik
